Jade,
.5mg a week is WAY too fast of a taper. Please read the "Ashton Manual" online. It is a great resource to educate yourself about benzos and how to withdrawal in the safest and least painful way possible. I unfortunately found it too late.
You can check out the links to these threads I have going on some forums to see how I am doing.

If you are interested in tapering off of Klonopin, please check out benzoisland.org or benzobuddies.org. I am a member at both support sites and the posting name is the same crittercuddler.
benzo.org.uk is also a good site.
My anxiety is the worst. I experience anxiety on a daily basis like none that I have ever experienced in my life before taking a benzo. I am afraid to do most everything and the anxiety is crippling. I also have had tinnitus continually for 6 months and do many people who stop their benzo. It is awful.
